This week started out with more sickness! On Monday, Brooklyn still wasn’t feeling well from being sick over the weekend, and on Tuesday, Ryan joined her. Apparently, everyone is sick because we weren’t able to get an appointment at Urgent Care until Tuesday, despite calling first thing Monday morning. Both kids ended up missing twoContinue reading “Week 147: Soccer and Koblenz”

Week 146: Ischgl, Austria!
Another week has flown by; I guess that’s the way it is when you are gone every weekend like we have been! We have not even been completely unpacking our bags, just leaving them open and adding and taking things out during the week. Softball tryouts were this week for Brooklyn, so she spent everyContinue reading “Week 146: Ischgl, Austria!”
Week 145: Skiing in Austria; St. Anton and Ski Amade!
After arriving back home from Chamonix Monday night, we had a quiet week at home, which was heaven after rushing around the last few weeks. We have been going non-stop since my parents’ arrival and needed to catch up on things around the house and sleep. Softball tryouts start for Brooklyn next week, so thisContinue reading “Week 145: Skiing in Austria; St. Anton and Ski Amade!”
Week 144: Chamonix!
Last Monday was my parents last full day in Germany. I took the afternoon off and we were able to attend the Fasching Parade in our town. For the last two years, the Fasching parade has fallen on Presidents’ Day weekend so we’ve missed it and were glad to finally be able to attend. ComparedContinue reading “Week 144: Chamonix!”
Week 143: A Full Week at Home with my Parents
After the busy-ness since my parents arrived of traveling to Innsbruck, having Lasik, and then going to Iceland, we finally enjoyed a full week at home with my parents. While I worked, my parents enjoyed lots of long walks around town and catching up on their rest. In the evenings, we ate out at manyContinue reading “Week 143: A Full Week at Home with my Parents”
Week 142: Lasik & Iceland
Monday morning, I finally had my LASIK revision. My appointment was at 9:15 and we were back home by 11am. Everything seemed to go smoothly except I moved my left eye a little during the procedure, which resulted in a tear to my lens. The doctor applied some bandages in the form of contact lensesContinue reading “Week 142: Lasik & Iceland”
Week 141: My Parents Are Here and Innsbruck!
My parents are here! After a quiet start to the week, we picked them up from Zurich airport on Thursday morning. Their flight arrived 15 minutes early and of course, Zurich Airport is so efficient, they were waiting on the curb within 30 minutes of landing. Just like last year, they had to wait onContinue reading “Week 141: My Parents Are Here and Innsbruck!”
Week 140: More Snow and Ice!
We ended last Monday with an unexpected three inches of snow, and then we started the week off with even more. Luckily, there were some breaks where we saw blue skies for short moments. While the kids made it to school on time on Tuesday, they delayed school on Wednesday due to a predicted iceContinue reading “Week 140: More Snow and Ice!”
Week 139: Farmers and Freezing
We just wrapped up another low key week in Germany! It has been absolutely freezing all week. A “Scandinavian Cloud” has settled over Central Europe and doesn’t seem to have any plans of leaving. We have gotten a couple of dustings of snow, which just seem to live permanently on the ground now. One thingContinue reading “Week 139: Farmers and Freezing”
Week 138: First Week of 2024
After two full months of nonstop travel, visitors, and Christmas markets, we finally had a gloriously boring week at home, and I mean ‘boring’ in the best possible resting, relaxing way. Since Thanksgiving, we visited 5 countries (besides Germany), one of them twice; 24 Christmas markets, two of them twice; and had nine visitors; allContinue reading “Week 138: First Week of 2024”
